When one gives the ancient aiyin [3] a G/K sound, the Hebrew words for "hair" and for "beer", "ale" are nearly homonyms. BTW, the Hebrew sin and shin are the same letter. When using "pointed" script, the shin has a dot on the top right (2 o'clock) and the sin has a dot on the top left (10 o'clock).
The Hebrew words for "beer, ale, and drunk" are related to yeast of the genus Saccharomyces used in brewing alcoholic beverages (including wine), primarily Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Compare CeReVisiae, Greek Cerberus = the 3-headed dog that guards the entrance to the underworld, and Hebrew KeLeV = dog. R and L are phonetically close. For example, Hebrew peh-resh-het = FLoWer.

Captain_Crunch: Anyone got any hangover cures? - Bowser: Drink water and and take brewer's yeast.

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/noel.bertel/homepage07-fun-vegemite.htm
But you really appreciate [VEGEMITE] the morning after a hangover... the basic ingredient in Marmite and Vegemite is spent brewer's yeast - which happens to be a by-product of the brewing industry ...

http://www.ilovemarmite.com/marmite/archive.asp
The basic raw material used in the manufacture of MARMITE is spent brewer's yeast, a substance whose original and only use was to ferment sugars into alcohol. ... It is also one of the best hangover cures.

So, there you have it. "Hair of the Dog" is the English translation of a Hebrew phrase that is a homonym for (that is, it sounds like) the Latin term for Brewer's yeast, a hangover remedy.

Hair of the dog = Sa[K]aRos KeLeV

Brewer's yeast = SaCChaRomyces CeReVisiae

kick the bucket (W3)

"To kick the bucket" = "to die".
...
To kick the bucket, according to most of the sources I checked, has its origins in the act of slaughtering a pig. The unfortunate swine would be suspended head down from a beam and then dispatched by having its throat cut. In its death throes, the animal would kick its little piggy feet against the beam.
...

In my opinion, the current explanation for "kick the bucket" on this website is a "folk etymology".

I think "kick the bucket" is the transliteration (into English words), not the translation, of a Semitic euphemism for death: to make (physical) love in Paradise.

The Hebrew equivalent is aiyin-gimel-vet bet-aiyin-dalet-nun. Using 3 for aiyin, 3aGaV B'3a:DeN. Giving the aiyin a G/K velar sound, as in 3aZa = Gaza, and letting gimel become K, as in GaMeL => camel, this phrase sounded like: KaKav B'Ka:Den which sounds quite like "kick bucket" in English.

In other words, in a Semitic language, "kick bucket" sounds like a well-known euphemism for dying.

The earth hosts approximately 10,000 species of birds, 75% of which are represented in this archive. From your common feeder birds, including jays, chickadees and sparrows to the exotic birds-of-paradise, toucans and flamingos you can browse families and explore their diversity. You’ll discover some exceptions in the bird world, such as penguins and emus that are unable to fly, however, all birds have feathers and lay eggs, even if they are not masters of flight.

Mammals

About 5,500 species of mammals roam the earth today. They are an incredibly diverse group from whales and dolphins, to bats, big cats, shrews and elephants. One trait they all have in common—hair. Listen to the astounding vocalizations of the nearly 70 marine mammal species in the archive or watch Polar Bears hunt in the high arctic. Explore recordings for the more than 600 mammal species in the archive!

Reptiles

Despite being among the very first animals to travel this earth, reptiles are still very successful today. With nearly 8,200 species described these scaly, cold-blooded creatures survive in some of the toughest climates on earth. Like birds, most species lay eggs, but many snakes and lizards give birth to live young. Check out some videos of a Galapagos Tortoise or listen to an American Alligator!

Amphibians

Frogs and toads, newts and salamanders, and snake-like caecilians comprise the diverse class, Amphibia. Many species begin their life as aquatic juveniles and transform into terrestrial adults. Amphibians are of particular conservation concern. Of the ~6,300 amphibians, one in three are threatened with extinction. Take a listen to any of the nearly 200 species in the archive!

Arthropods

Invertebrates with an exoskeleton, segmented body and jointed appendages are classified as arthropods. This includes insects, centipedes and millipedes, and crustaceans—shrimp, lobsters and crabs. Take a listen to the Snowy Tree-Cricket that varies how fast it delivers each note depending on the temperature.

Fishes

This group takes the prize as the most diverse group of vertebrates, with nearly 32,000 species represented. Fish were the first vertebrates to radiate the earth, dating back 500 million years. The group includes the bony fish, sharks and rays, lungfish and coelacanths, hagfish, and lampreys. Watch videos of a Whale Shark feeding or hear what a squirrelfish sounds like!
